First Shots: Hornady 5.7x28 mm Ammunition
This video explores Hornady's new 5.7x28mm ammunition, specifically the Hornady Black 40-grain V-Max and the Critical Defense 40-grain FTX. The content stems from '5.7 Fest' at Range Ready, highlighting the growing interest in the 5.7mm round due to increased firearm and ammunition availability beyond FN. The video features a discussion with Preston Lentfer from Hornady and demonstrates ballistic gelatin testing of both ammunition types, noting the Critical Defense performance is comparable to 9mm Critical Defense. It suggests these new offerings are key to boosting the popularity of the 5.7x28mm caliber.
